Tasks
4.1 Impact of Computing - Personal Data Protection
- Discuss that as technology becomes more and more connected, data issues become more and more prevalent, especially regarding Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
- AP CSP Essential Knowledge
- Personally identifiable information (PII) is information about an individual that identifies, links, relates, or describes them. Examples of PII include:
- social security number, age, race, phone number(s), medical information, financial information, biometric data
- Search engines can record and maintain a history of searches made by users.
- Websites can record and maintain a history of individuals who have viewed their pages.
- Devices, websites, and networks can collect information about a user’s location.
- Technology enables the collection, use, and exploitation of information about, by, and for individuals, groups, and institutions.
- Search engines can use search history to suggest websites or for targeted marketing.
- Disparate personal data, such as geolocation, cookies, and browsing history, can be aggregated to create knowledge about an individual.
- PII and other information placed online can be used to enhance a user’s online experiences.
- PII stored online can be used to simplify making online purchases.
- Commercial and governmental curation of information may be exploited if privacy and other protections are ignored.
- Information placed online can be used in ways that were not intended and that may have a harmful impact. For example, an email message may be forwarded, tweets can be retweeted, and social media posts can be viewed by potential employers.
- PII can be used to stalk or steal the identity of a person or to aid in the planning of other criminal acts.
- Once information is placed online, it is difficult to delete.
- Programs can collect your location and record where you have been, how you got there, and how long you were at a given location.
- Information posted to social media services can be used by others. Combining information posted on social media and other sources can be used to deduce private information about you.
